Question 2

In an effort to clean up the amount of sulfates introduced into the atmosphere the government has ruled that all polluters install smoke stack scrubbers on their smoke stacks and mandated a pollution limit on the amount of sulfates per parts of air
 
  that may be legally emitted into the atmosphere. Suppose some of the polluters have found a more efficient way to eliminate the pollution. How will this discovery change the amount of sulfates emitted into the atmosphere?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The answer is that it will not change the amount of sulfates emitted. Since the firm is not legally allowed to adopt this technology it will continue to use the government-mandated technology of smoke stack scrubbers.
